Not when emails may get deleted (even if they only went into Trash).

I'm glad it does a lot of things differently.  And I already said *I*
will no longer be affected by *this specific surprise*.  But that does
not alter the fact that it *is* a **bad** surprise.

Keep the *good* surprises by all means.  I'm just saying make the
good/bad surprise ratio even better.
